One of the replies mentioned that "the only advantage" of FoxPro is its smaller footprint. While I very much doubt that it is "the only advantage", I consider it a very important advantage. At least for now, many individuals and companies simply can't afford to upgrade all their machines to 2+ GHz, and 256+ MB RAM.

>I think it is interesting. The respondants clearly do not know VFP or how to use it. They offered many reasons why they do not like VFP that are not true. Instead of learning the product they assume it can not do what they need. They would have the same view of any other products they were "forced" to use. Its just sad the misinformation is spread in a forum like that.

>>Hi Bernard. I am not sure why this is such "interesting reading"? Its a few developers that dont like VFP. And none of them give me the impression that they have any real in depth experience or knowledge of VFP. There are always developers who prefer one language over another. So what?

>>Most languages have their strengths and weakness' and applications for which they are better suited over others. That includes .Net languages and lots of other dev tools. So six vb.net guys, on a vb.net forum, dont like VFP. I am sure there are some developers that dont like vb.net. What does that mean or prove to anyone either way?
